1088 Tmogvi earthquake: Tmogvi: April 16 or 22 6.5 M s: Many M w = moment magnitude scale, M b = body wave magnitude, and M s = surface-wave magnitude. The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand alone articles. The principles described are also applicable to ...
The state typically experiences between 10 and 20 earthquakes above magnitude 2.0 each year, said Andy Newman, a professor of geophysics at Georgia Tech. As for what’s behind the recent shakes ...
Earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones from 1974 to 2002, with magnitudes larger than 2.5. The zone had four of the largest earthquakes in recorded North American history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 7 or greater, all occurring within a 3-month period between December 1811 and February 1812. Many of ...
The large format of the atlas allows it to show detailed location maps, e.g. for 60 species of mammals, and 133 bird species, together with their distribution areas. As Georgia is covered with geologically young high mountains, geoecological hazards include landslides, mudflows, snow avalanches, floods and inundation, erosion, and earthquakes.
The color-coded map shows a range of earthquake probability across the U.S. Well known high-risk areas, such as California and Alaska, are coded in dark red, denoting the highest risk.
The first statewide geologic map of Georgia was published in 1825. It was a 1:1,000,000 scale map of Georgia and Alabama published by Henry Schenck Tanner. [3] In 1849 W.T. Williams published the geological features for the state on a 1:120,000 scale map within George White's (1849) Statistics of the State of Georgia report. [4]

The 1991 Racha earthquake occurred in the province of Racha, Georgia, at 9:12 UTC on 29 April. Centered on the districts of Oni and Ambrolauri on the southern foothills of the Greater Caucasus mountains, it killed 270, left approximately 100,000 homeless and caused severe damage, including to several medieval monuments.
